While our body can usually determine exactly how much oil needs to be produced in order to keep our skin healthy and above all hydrated, it is sometimes pushed to overload, which leads to overproduction, which can cause a feeling of oily skin and hair.

Excessive oil production can occur for several reasons. Sometimes it could be because of hereditary, medical side effects or maybe due to hormonal changes (puberty or pregnancy), above all even changes in seasons, lifestyle or climate also affect this. Furthermore, poor nutrition, poor hair care, and certain medications can also affect the oiliness of your hair. While in other cases it may be a direct result of your everyday beauty. Hence, how often you wash your hair, what products you use, and how you style your hair contribute to its oily appearance, and this is where the following tips come into play.
